Котo�pый
Котo�pый ‘who/whom’, ‘which’ or ‘that’ is the relative pronoun used to
introduce an adjectival clause which describes a noun in the preceding
clause:
Я зна�ю стyде�нткy, кото�рая у�чится в МГУ
‘I know a female student who is studying at Moscow University’.Кото�pый declines like a hard adjective. The gender and number of
кото�рый depends on the gender and number of the noun to which it
refers. In the example above, кото�рая refers to студе�нтку and so is in
the feminine singular. The case of кото�рый depends on its own role in
the adjectival clause. In the above example, it is the subject of the verb
у�чится and so is in the nominative.
Examples:
Э�тo журна�л, o кото�pом я вам говори�ла
‘This is the journal that I was telling you about’.
Пи�тер Грин – бизнесме�н, с кото�рым Ма�pина
познако�милась в самолёте
‘Peter Green is the businessman with whom Marina became
acquainted on the plane’.
